Military humor at your fingertips. Veteran owned and operated, VET Tv recreates and parodies the military experience to deliver absurd, non-PC humor you can’t get anywhere else. We stopped taking ourselves seriously a long time ago and started laughing about the good ole times in the military. Maybe you've asked yourself, "Why does Hollywood always get it wrong? The military doesn't talk or act like that. Give me something real about the military!" We did too. That’s why we created VET Tv, where dark comedy and an authentic military voice finally come together to bring you the funniest TV shows ever made about the military.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: VET Tv at 95% against eStory's 75%. VET Tv also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.7) and chart position (#200 vs unranked). eStory's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
